The first thing Snape asks Harry is “Potter! What would I get if I added powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?” According to Victorian Flower Language, asphodel is a type of lily meaning ‘My regrets follow you to the grave’ and wormwood means ‘absence’ and also typically symbolized bitter sorrow. If you combined that, it meant ‘I bitterly regret Lily’s death’.

The Destroyer

Why do I construct, only to ruin?

Is there a point to all my doing?

Anatomies of love, I have meticulously built

Only to crush them, with sorrow and guilt.


Construct and crush…construct and crush…

Why do I feel such a rush?


I reach for the skies, achieving a goal

Succeeding the deed, fulfilling my soul

The Destroyer inside rips me apart

Seizing my mind, and breaking my heart.


Reach and succeed…reach and succeed…

The Destroyer has a need to feed.


As I walk through life, I find moments of bliss

And any negativity I try to dismiss

I revel in the glory of blissful intent

While the Destroyer lies waiting, hell-bent.


Joy and sorrow…joy and sorrow…

Will I have happiness tomorrow?


I have given my love to only a few

Sharing my heart, my passion overdue

And it seems all is right, all is perfect

But the Destroyer lies dormant, waiting to surface.


Love and despair…love and despair…

My heart belongs to those who care.

Surface he does, consuming me fast

And even as I fight, I know I won’t last

The unforgiving torture, he tears me apart

He yearns to destroy me with his evil black heart.


Anguish and fight…anguish and fight…

His glowing red eyes are a terrible sight.


Regardless of my heart, full of love and devotion

And the ability I have to ignite my emotions

The indulgence I have when I’m free of this brute

But it’s the heart of my loved one this animal loots.


Breakdown and hide…breakdown and hide…

I can’t fight it, believe me I tried.


So friends and foes beware, for if we ever meet

Do not offer me your hearts comfort suite

For if I linger, gaining your trust on my part

Your soul will be prey to the Destroyer’s black heart.


Trust and destroy…trust and destroy…

Look out for me, the Destroyer’s decoy.

What's Doctor Who about?

  • What my friend asked:

    What's Doctor Who about?

  • What I said:

    It's about an alien named "The Doctor" who travels though time in a spaceship that looks like a police telephone box, who saves people and other aliens with the help of his companions and a tool called a "sonic screwdriver."

  • What I meant:

    IT'S ABOUT FRIENDSHIP AND BRAVERY AND LOVE AND LOSS, AND LIFE AND DEATH AND FORGIVENESS AND GUILT, AND BEING HUMAN AND BEING LESS THAN HUMAN AND SOMETIMES A BIT MORE THAN HUMAN, SKILL AND INTELLECT AND SOMETIMES A LITTLE BIT OF LUCK, FINDING THE EXTRAORDINARY IN THE SEEMINGLY ORDINARY, LOOKING UP AT THE NIGHT SKY AND REALIZING YOU'RE PART OF AN IMPOSSIBLY BEAUTIFUL AND MYSTERIOUS UNIVERSE AND THAT YOU DON'T KNOW ALL THE ANSWERS NO MATTER HOW CLEVER YOU ARE. IT'S ABOUT LOOKING INSIDE YOURSELF AND REALIZING YOU'RE FAR GREATER THAN THE EXTERNAL CONDITIONS OF YOUR LIFE: YOU'RE NOT A SHOPGIRL, YOU'RE NOT A SUCCESSFUL MEDICAL DOCTOR, YOU'RE NOT A TEMP, YOU'RE NOT A LITTLE GIRL WHO NEEDS TO GROW UP OR A BOY THAT THINKS THE LOVE OF HIS LIFE COULD HAVE DONE BETTER. YOU'RE THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON IN CREATION AND AT THE SAME TIME YOU'RE THE MOST INSIGNIFICANT THING IN THE WORLD, AND HAVING THE ABILITY TO CHOOSE BETWEEN THE TWO AT ANY GIVEN TIME IS FANTASTIC. IT'S ABOUT EMBRACING YOUR INNER DARKNESS SO THAT YOU CAN STAND IN THE LIGHT OF YOUR TRUTH. IT'S ABOUT HAVING THE GUTS TO DO WHAT'S RIGHT EVEN WHEN EVERYONE ELSE JUST RUNS AWAY.
